Welcome to the OpenSSF family, OpenBao Project! 🎉
#OpenBao is a new sandbox project focused on secure secrets and encryption management—originally forked from Vault & now evolving to serve open source communities even better.

🚀🎉 Hold the presses! #OpenBao adds "Namespaces" to its secret manager, enabling isolated environments for your secrets. 🤔 Finally, a solution to the problem of "Where did I put my secrets again?" 😅 Thanks, OpenBao, for making secret management feel like a game of hide-and-seek with a twist! 🙄🔍

#openbao has now namespaces. This is BIG
This is so cool. #openbao namespace support just landed on main, so you can already start playing around.
An official beta release is coming soon™!
....aaaaaand #OpenBao (the fork of #Hashicorp #Vault) is on its way to @opensuse #Tumbleweed in the latest version 2.2.1. Since 2.2.0 the webui is included in OpenBao, so this can be a full replacement for Vault!
Looking forward to doing more testing with it!
In case you want to try it out, here is a #vagrant #libvirt setup using #Ansible to prepare an OpenBao server VM and a client using a secret.

@arichtman 100%, layers are the way to go!
Ohhh, I'm interested in the machine identity aspect too. I was thinking about deploying #openbao at some point but I'm going to have to check out SPIFFE/Spire 👍
I am about two weeks late, but #openbao release 2.2 have the UI enabled!
Thank you. Great work everyone. Now we can ditch IBM.
Uuuuuuuh, #OpenBao (the open source fork of #Hashicorp #Vault) just released version 2.2.0 and now includes the UI, that was missing so far.
The package for @opensuse was adapted, tested and worked out fine. Will soon be available in #Tumbleweed!
If you want to test this out, feel free to use this vagrant-libvirt setup of mine:

O #OpenBao segue liberando releases, deixando claro que o Vault da Hashicorp vai ficar para trás. É isso que acontece com quem trai o software livre.
@geerlingguy Yup. We're moving to #openbao
I can’t believe how HashiCorp has fumbled the bag lately! It’s really disheartening to see a company that once had such promise in the open-source software space lose its way. It’s a reminder of how important it is to stay true to your values.
On a brighter note, I’m excited about the release of OpenBao! It’s an open-source fork of Hashi Vault, and it really has the potential to fill the gap left by HashiCorp. Check it out here: https://openbao.org/!

@daniel1820815 #OpenBao is the open source fork of Vault if you go that direction. In general, I look at the potential threats first. Inside of the container, the secret will be available, and the host has access to the container.
The advantage of tools like Vault is central storage/access to those secrets, and the ability to continuously and automatically rotate those secrets. But the latter needs support from all parts of the application.

Blog alert! https://openbao.org/blog/kickoff/
OpenBao has begun its community blog -- if anyone's interested in authoring a post, let us know. 🙂
I was worried I'd be a touch late to the trend, but the MNOrch came in clutch a day or two ago to add legitimacy to continuing the very demure trend!
Not all trends are worth following though, and I'm glad to see Elasticsearch going back to an OSI approved license. Maybe there's hope for future collaboration with OpenBao and OpenTofu's upstreams?
